Michael Thomas and other veterans in secondary must lead young Giants

Michael Thomas was honored on Tuesday night for all of the leadership and work he has done in the community. The Giants safety, with only one year under his belt with the organization, was named the team’s Hometown Hero at the 26th annual Gridiron Gala in support of the United Way of New York City.

“It’s humbling,” Thomas said of the recognition. “I just want to keep giving back to the community.”

When it comes to football, the Giants are hoping Thomas can provide the same characteristics on the field and in the locker room that he was honored for on Tuesday.
